One of the film types I collect are Vampire films so Vlad was needed for the collection. I did not expect much when I saw the IMDb rating. However the 3.5 rating is from people that were to cowardly to leave a review to explain their low rating.Vlad is not an easy movie. The first time I watched it, the story line seemed confused and I was not much impressed. However there was something that I liked, so I watched it again. The second time I put more effort in to really watching the film and I found I quite liked it. It is slow paced, but I like slow paced films that take their time. I liked the characters and I loved the locations. I also found that the story line is not confused but twisting.I seriously doubt that most people would like this film, but if you like the subject mater and are willing to put some effort in to the film, I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

i will be fair here and say that i didn't watch the whole movie.the reason is i found it way too slow and boring,plus it just looked too low budget.low budget isn't always a bad thing,when the rest of the movie is good.sometimes you don't even notice the budget.for me that is not the case with this movie.i have heard of some of the actors in this movie,and they've done some good work in the past.but in tis movie,it just seemed like no one wanted to be there.this is just my opinion and i could be wrong,but that's how i saw things.anyway,the bottom line is,from what i saw,this movie wasn't going anywhere fast.i give Vlad a 3/10

I read a couple of the other reviews of this movie and didn't think that most of them were fair. I really think this was just an average movie, not a good or bad movie, just average.I watch a lot of movies and love anything about vampires, but this movie didn't really do it for me. There was a lot of information about Vlad, but there wasn't a whole lot of info about vampires. Without giving anything away, I'll just say that the causes are Vlad's vampirism were nothing you haven't heard before if you've seen more than one vampire movie. With all the build up about Vlad, I was hoping for a more original plot. However, I don't think that because the movie failed to be original that it should count against it, I just think it shouldn't be praised for it either.Besides the plot, the movies did have a pretty good production value. I'd say that it was a bit better than a made-for-TV movie but obviously not a big budget film. Just because it's an independent movie doesn't mean that its great. Independent companies put out plenty of bad movies, but this falls somewhere in-between.I wouldn't say this movie is worth watching, but I don't regret watching it either.

When I saw the teaser for VLAD I was not expecting much, but I was actually impressed. VLAD has a very interesting premise once you get passed the initial campy start of college kids chasing the vampire legend. I agree that some of the editing might not be the best at times, but that's to be expected on a low budget.The casting was good and did a good job delivering the dialog in a believable way.I would recommend this to anyone that wants a break from the action/adventure visions of vampires or anyone that just enjoys a little more substance than a goth/s&m vampire flick.
